Hard to help without more information....

But I would guess all aspects of your installation are not configured to handle Chinese characters.
Your DB_CHARSET, CHARSET, and the database tables and columns most all be configured with a character set which supports Chinese characters. Additionally, whatever software you are using to edit your content must support (and save using) the same character set.

One possible character set to use is UTF-8... It is one of the mostly widely supported way to encode non iso-latin-1 characters.
